- Why I got involved in CAA:
- I was my high school's Earth Club leader and we were planning on donating our money to a animal rights organization one year. So, I did my research and found CAA to be the best group in Minnesota. Apparently I must have signed myself up to volunteer without realizing it, and was all of a sudden receiving many calls from the group asking me to help out...so I did. And have been a satisfied volunteer ever since. I went vegetarian when I was 15 for environmental and health reasons, but CAA has helped me open my eyes to the greater issue of animal cruelty and has provided me a place of refuge and education when the pressure to eat meat seems to overwhelming and disturbing.
- Interesting fact:
- I am in love with my guitar, we make beautiful music together
